Hiya Michael - welcome to
planDisney!
I'm so excited to hEAR that you'll be experiencing the magic of the
Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary Celebration in just a couple of days!
There are many different options to look into for your transportation from the Orlando International Airport to your
Walt Disney World Resort hotel. Personally, I always look at rates for rental cars first. The
complimentary transportation available
within Walt Disney World Resort is great, but I really love having my own vehicle for the trip, and it makes getting to and from the airport easy! I like to start there to compare renting a car to my other options, just to see how much I'd be paying for the convenience. When not renting a car, my usual airport transportation is a rideshare service such as Lyft. Many Lyft options allow you to bring your own car seat if you're traveling with it, and some now offer them.
You'll probably want to also look into third-party motorcoach services, including Mears Connect and the Sunshine Flyer, which offer different service types and prices for trips to and from Walt Disney World Resort. You may also check out some private car services focused on families, and should consider whether your group might want to split up - it may open up more options! For example, you could find a great deal on a car rental that can accommodate the kiddos and a few adults, and the other adults could hop in a Lyft. My advice is to compare your options because pricing and availability change very frequently, especially close to arrival!
See ya real soon!
